Zintevir is an oligonucleotide analogue, which has the phosphorothicate modification at both termini, that forms a K+-induced quadruplex structure and shows potent anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 activity. We synthesized the non-modified analogue (D-17mer) of Zintevir and its enantiomer (L-17mer), and compared their anti-HIV-1 activity and molecular mechanism of action. Although L-17mer forms the exact mirror image quadruplex structure of D-17mer, which has a very similar structure with Zintevir, L-17mer showed comparable anti-HIV-1 activity with Zintevir. The results obtained by the time-of-addition experiments and the immunofluorescence binding assay strongly suggest that the primary molecular target of L-17mer is the viral gp120 envelope protein as well as Zintevir, regardless of their reciprocal chirality.
